SPECIFICATION forming pere ef Lettere Patent No. 265,762, dated oeteb'er Io, 1882.

Application filed June 26, 1882. (No model.)

To all whom t may concern:

Be it known that I, BENJAMIN F. CURTIS, of Cincinnati, Hamilton county, Ohio, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Printers LockingUp Devices, of which the following is a specication.

My device consists essentially of a lock-har having a lip or gasket of caoutchouc or other elastic substance, which bar is rendered capable of being moved bodily parallel with itself and held to the position to which it has been thus advanced by means of cam or lever and toggle or equivalent mechanism.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure I is a perspective View ot' the prel'erred form of my invention in the locked condition. Fig. 2 isa vertical section ofthe same, showing the leverand-toggle mechanism in the unlocked condition. Figs. 3 and 4 are respectively a perspective view and a vertical section (both in the locked condition) of another form of my invention.

A may represent the frame of either a chase or a galley.

B, Fig. 1, is a clamp, to which is connected by toggles C C a cheek or lock-bar,D,having on its type side a groove or channel, d, into which is forced a strip or llet, E, of caoutchouc or other elastic substance. A rod, F, projecting rectaugularly from the clamp B, has

sliding thereon a tube or sleeve, G, that projects reversely from the lock-bar D. Upon this rod is pivoted a lever, H, which is so connected by rods J J with said toggles as (for its movement in direction of the dotted arrow) to straighten the said toggles and force the locking-har onto the type, so as to hold the same at any part of the,- chase or galley.

In the modification shown in Figs. 3 and 4 the clamp is dispensed with, the toggles being hinged direct to the galley-wall, and the oper- Screws, cams, or other like means may be substituted for the toggles and lever.

I claim as new and of my invention- 1. The provision upon a printers chase or galley of a. locking-bar or cheek, D, having groove d, which contains a rubber gasket, E, for the purpose set forth.

2. As a new article ot' manufacture. the attachment for printers7 chases and galleys, consisting ot' clamp B, toggles C C', lock-bar D. elastic lillet E, lever H, rods J J, and pivot F G, substantially as set forth.

In testimony of which invention I hereunto Set my hand.

BENJAMIN F. CURTIS.
